Cis prolyl peptide bonds are conserved structural elements in numerous protein
families, although their formation is energetically unfavorable, intrinsically
slow and often rate-limiting for folding. Here we investigate the reasons
underlying the conservation of the cis proline that is diagnostic for the fold of
thioredoxin-like thiol-disulfide oxidoreductases. We show that replacement of the
conserved cis proline in thioredoxin by alanine can accelerate spontaneous
folding to the native, thermodynamically most stable state by more than four
orders of magnitude. However, the resulting trans alanine bond leads to small
structural rearrangements around the active site that impair the function of
thioredoxin as catalyst of electron transfer reactions by more than 100-fold. Our
data provide evidence for the absence of a strong evolutionary pressure to
achieve intrinsically fast folding rates, which is most likely a consequence of
proline isomerases and molecular chaperones that guarantee high in vivo folding
rates and yields.
